Music news Purkinje Shift posts entire catalogue, new songs coming soon
Posted by Chad Radford @ChadRad on Wed, Jan 18, 2012 at 9:19 AM
There’s a secret history lesson hiding in these songs that offers a snapshot of a progressive era not only for post-hardcore and indie rock on a national scale, but for the local scene of the late ’90s, and this particular group’s pursuit of stark, angular perfection. … And that 7-inch is damn near impossible to track down these days (if you have one to spare lying around give me a holler). But if you don’t have time to go digging through the cheap-o unsorted bins at the Book Nook, or those dirty boxes on the floor at Wax ‘n’ Facts, all the music is right here and it's free for the taking.
Listen in chronological order, it only gets better.
New songs should be arriving soon, and if you catch their set at 529 this Friday you'll see and hear nothing but new material, which they're planning to start recording over the next two months.
Purkinje Shift plays 529 Fri., Jan. 20 with Rizzudo and Cinemechanica. $7. 9 p.m. 529 Flat Shoals Ave. 404-228-6769.

Holy fuck this rules balls. Not only do I get to download all this bad ass math rock for fucking free but they are playing this friday! I don't know what to do though. My girlfriend wants me to go to som party that night but this sounds like it is going to rule. Fuck man Rizzudo are fucking playing and cinemechanica! fuck! I am so fucking excited. So fucking into this. Thank god for you Chad if only I fucking new about this earlier I would have never told my girlfriend I would go to that stupid party. Chad you are the man. You rule so much harder than Gabe Vodicka. I have got to figure out a way to go this shit. fuck its only $7. Thats not too bad man I am so fucking stoked. If only sorry no ferrari were on this shit. Can we get awesome shows like this on a weekly basis?
I read a lot of these local posts and stuff to help me figure out what's cool in Atlanta since I'm still kinda new, and I just get sick of all these people who hate on the scene. Why?? I don't know who this P. Shift band is, but there seems to be some excitement about them and then up pops a hater who wants to make fun of someone for getting excited. Lame. Real lame. We had this kind of lame shit going on in Columbia. I thought Atlanta would be cooler than this.
Man this shit ruled. I lied to my girlfriend and told her I couldn't fucking go to the party because I wasn't feeling good and went to this show instead it ruled so hard. The best part is my girlfriend got drunk and stayed at her friend's house. She didn't even realize I was gone but I got fucking worried because this show went on so fucking late. I was like oh shit I hope my girlfriend doesn't get home before me. But right when Purkinje shift was setting up she sent me a text message and was like "I'm all drunk and going to spend the night at my friend's place" I was like fuck yeah this is going to rule and it did fucking rule. All the bands fucking ruled so hard. Best show ever.
